As I said in the other "Pierre, Pierre" topics, this project is (was) one of the most interesting ones on his list in years. The script was on the "black list" and very wanted. Above that, Reitman made some good movies with "Thank You for Smoking", "Juno" and (my favorite) "Up in the Air", lots of nominations also.

On the one side, I'm extremely glad it's back on track. On the other side ... Reitman (and his unique and very original vision) is out. Do I realy want to see the version of the guy that brought us 'Borat' and 'Bruno'? Not that those movies were bad (not at all actually), but I don't want to see the same thing for the 3th time, cause 'Buno' was the same thing all over again, just with another character. I hope Jim isn't a 3th character in a movie we saw before.

Richard Dreyfuss???Don't you think??Anyway this should be an interesting movie.Does it start out in the US or Canada thenthe main character goes back to France?or is he French Canadian and falls in love with FranceI wonder???

Well that's unfourtunate, but I hope somebody jumps on board and makes the movie unique.

not sure this would be goodtoo much negativity, we're alreadyin economy slump, not sure this is agood one to make at this time, wouldlike to see something more enforcingyou could have a conflict though if itreally had to be brought fwdSomeone who could retort to Pierre,pierrewho is a good as Pierre is badsomewhat of a good adversary that thwartsthe things that Pierre does and is somewhatone step ahead of Pierre unknowinglyThis has something of a twist, doesn't it?Isn't that what it's abouta personality tennis matchI wonder if it would be possible
